It's a good idea that would almost certainly affect cross-browser
compatibility and cause "surprises".  With BrowserCam unavailable, I'm
not sure what the best way to evaluate cross-browser compatibility
would be.

Maybe forking the skin and making the old skin available with e.g.
  $Skin='compat';
would provide a way to cautiously tweak the skin so it works better on mobile.

For a _very crude_ PmWiki-RWD example, resize your browser on this
page and see how the searchbox, side-menu, and wikitext area respond:
